Virginia: New Cuccinelli Ad Capitalizes on TechPAC Endorsement

On Monday, it was revealed that the political arm of the Northern Virginia Technology Council not only endorsed Republican Ken Cuccinelli, but spurned attempts from high profile McAuliffe supporters to bully them into changing their endorsement. The Washington Post covered the battle over the TechPAC nod and it included some damning details about McAuliffe’s responses to that endorsement screening and his overall approach as a candidate.

Now, the Cuccinelli campaign is capitalizing. Check out this powerful new ad:

Not only does the ad promote Cuccinelli’s serious policy-oriented management style, but it uses authentic quotes about McAuliffe’s greatest liabilities to drive the message home. This is the type of contrast ad that rises above the negative ad noise and stands out.
